No matter how much you water it, a dead plant will never grow.

I’m about to share the work of a Medium writer I have recently become acquainted with. He’s a diligent writer. He’s done his homework. He eloquently, and convincingly, shares his finding with the world.

Today I will be talking about the Airbnb experience, from Jared’s perspective.

But first, allow me to share mine.

Some years ago, my husband and I took some time out to travel around Australia. For the most part we used AIRBNB accommodation.

Why?

Because we felt we were helping people to make a little cash on the side, a side hustle if you like.

But it took only two contretemps for us to decide we would never use them again.

The first happened when we were looking to book a cottage for a few weeks. It looked quite nice, but it was missing a few details. We shelved it for a while, but kept it open, and continued our search.
